Guild Wars 2

Why don’t u reimplement it? Last year we also didn’t have it. Is there a reason for not maing it available again? I liked this minigame a lot.

Yeah, I’m really sad about Lunatic Inquisition missing too. It was my favourite Halloween activity, I can’t believe it’s been two years since we last got to play it. I was actually looking forward to playing it again this year because I’d forgotten it was missing already last year…

I wish they’d at least explain why they removed it

It was sacrificed in a long and involved ritual designed to resurrect SAB this year. Blame Asura necromancers.

Yeah. This is probably the mini game that I enjoy the most as hunting down villagers is so much fun.

I’m still missing Reaper’s Rumble. That mini-game was hecka fun.

Absolutely nothing of value was lost. That game was terrible.

Reaper’s Rumble, on the other hand, is worth mourning.

I don’t care how buggy it is, Lunatic Court was the only reason I played during Halloween. Please, I would even sacrifice my Heart of Thorns to get it back :S

I think it was removed due to the fact that the last time it was on people used afk bots to farm it. And that issue has not been fixed

That’s what you get when you reward participation instead of performance.

I loved the Lunatic court. It was the only reason I’d get into the game sometimes. Bring it back!!!!

Lunatic Inquisition & Dragon Ball, my favorite part of Guild Wars 2, was really looking forward to it. Who cares if it was a broken mini game, that’s what made it fun. I couldn’t imagine removing Dragon Ball because people found a way to break it, that’s like the only thing canthan new year has going for it.

Lunatic Inquisition had so many bugs and exploits probably that’s why they decided to remove it. It was a fun activity when played properly but villagers could jump and get to places that the ghosts couldn’t reach and that was outright broken. Of course instead of fixing those issues by adding a few invisible walls, they scrapped it.

I must have misread something, because I was sure that I read somewhere that it would be available. I just spent 30-40 minutes going crazy trying to find Rasmus for Lunatic Inquisition, and it’s not even available again! What I don’t understand is… Why remove content, especially when it’s obviously hotly requested by the community for a return? I don’t like to say things are “easy fixes” in the gaming world, but these aforementioned problems really do sound like simple things. Ex: Add a wall here or make both teams unable or able to jump and reward for participation and not camping. ._.

You still have time anet…

Please add this content back! This was a fun activity for Halloween

It was never played properly, by design.

but villagers could jump and get to places that the ghosts couldn’t reach and that was outright broken.

There are lots of broken things about the game that are in the ghosts’ favor. In the face of so many disadvantages, jumping out of bounds was the only way to compete. If all of the holes allowing that were patched up, villager win rates would drop to single digits, but there are reasons why someone like you wouldn’t find that to be a problem, by design.

Of course instead of fixing those issues by adding a few invisible walls, they scrapped it.

It is likely that when choosing to do anything with this game mode, ANet asked themselves, “Is there a problem here that is going to negatively affect the economy?” This relates to the AFK farming of ToT bags. Depending on their answer, the following happens:

• There’s no significant impact on the economy – Do nothing.
• There is a significant impact on the economy. Choose one of the next two options:
  • Spend developer time on fixing the issue.
  • Cut the game mode.

ANet doesn’t care about activities, so it was an easy decision for them to choose to scrap it rather than fix it. They don’t have to worry about how polished that part of the game is if they don’t let anyone look at it anymore.

plz bring back the game anet we have a tuesday b4 halloween . plz patch it in

Talk about lack of communication….

Talk about lack of communication….

Let’s be fair: all of the complaints about Lunatic Inquisition (or even Reaper’s Rumble) missing from the event boil down to a witch hunt against ANet, and ANet has a history of not answering to witch hunts.

Of course, what they often fail to accept is that they bring this on themselves. This wouldn’t be an issue if the content was never removed. They probably also don’t see what they’ve done (or what they’ve lacked in doing) as a big issue because the ruckus over it isn’t all that big, but this again is a symptom of their terrible support of activity modes in general that is misdiagnosed by them as a genuine and original lack of interest in them.
